This section defines the construction staging sequence for the Steel Tub Girder Bridge including substructure and superstructure construction.
Navigation: Construction
Construction staging analysis allows modeling of:
Step-by-step element activation
Time-dependent effects (creep and shrinkage)
Load sequence effects
Structural deformation during construction
Structural elements exist in either a constructed or unconstructed state, and only constructed elements are utilized in structural analysis. Initially, all elements are in an unconstructed state until they are explicitly constructed in a given stage.
Define construction stage sequence
Configure pile, foundation, column, and cap construction
Configure girder, deck, and attachment construction
Complete Construction staging before defining load combinations.
